Sinclair Cycles! Be A Part of the Fun!

Sinclair Cycles is an initiative to boost bicycle commuting to Sinclair for study or work.

Please join us for a number of events beginning April 15 and culminating in Five Rivers MetroParks "Bike to Work Day" competition. Last year, Sinclair placed third. This year with your help, we are going for the grand prize!

Be a part of the Sinclair Cycles team by signing up at any of these events or by contacting the organizers listed below.

Get out and bike to Sinclair for work or study! Ride your bike to the plaza in front of building 8 where you can sign up to commit to ride for Five Rivers Metro Parks Bike to Work Day (see below), receive a free t-shirt, and have your name entered into a drawing to win a Sinclair Cycles riding jersey. Return to the plaza to try your hand at the Five Rivers Metro Parks mountain bike obstacle course from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Sinclair Cycles with the Courteous Mass

Bike to the entrance of Fifth Third Field to join the Courteous Mass, a group ride around the city. Courteous Mass rides every first Friday of the month to help everyone learn to share the road.

Five Rivers MetroParks Bike to Work Day Pancake Breakfast

Friday, May 16, 7 a.m. - 9 a. m.*, RiverScape

This lively event draws hundreds of bike commuters from around the Miami Valley for a free pancake breakfast. Sinclair placed third last year, and every team member won a short-term membership to RiverScape Bike Hub. We are hoping to kick it up a notch to win the grand prize this year! Students are especially needed to ride as our chief rival UD has many student riders.

*Note: Full-time non-faculty employees must take vacation or personal leave for regular work time when participating in the May 16th event. Part-time non-faculty employees will not be paid for the time during which they participate in the May 16th event.
